Chapter 402: Things Are Different Now

The next morning.

Nanning Bus Station.

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Old Zhou, when you return to Guangzhou, remember to help keep an eye out for suitable shops for rent. The area should be about 300 square meters, and the location should be suitable for opening a hot pot restaurant."

Old Zhou patted his chest and said, "Uncle Jiu, leave this to me. I am retired now and have nothing to do all day long! When I return, I will mobilize my connections to help you find a suitable shop. It is indeed more promising to open a hot pot restaurant in Guangzhou."

Mother Zhou also smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Jiu, this matter is left to us. When a suitable shop is found, Ah Zhu can come here to do business. In this way, the two young people will not be restricted by region and have the opportunity to get together."

Through this meeting, they are quite satisfied with Deng Yunzhu.

After all, she is the owner of such a large hot pot restaurant, and there are branches in other places. This business is really booming. In addition, her figure and appearance are not bad, and her high school education is also impressive. How could they not be satisfied with such conditions?

It was their first meeting, and it was not suitable to go to the girl's house, so Deng Shirong did not tell them that Wuyue Plaza was his property, nor did he take them to the fifth floor to see the stunning mansion, otherwise they would not only be satisfied, but also afraid that they could not marry into the Deng family.

Because they were very satisfied, Zhou's father and mother did not hide anything and had clearly expressed their intentions in front of Deng Shirong.

As for Deng Shirong's feelings for Zhou Haidong, he was also satisfied. If he was not satisfied, he would not have asked the Zhou family to come all the way from Guangzhou to Nanning for a blind date.

Therefore, the parents of both parties were satisfied with this marriage, and whether it could be accomplished depended on the choices of Zhou Haidong and Deng Yunzhu.

Before getting on the bus, Zhou Haidong looked at the girl who was becoming more and more satisfied with him, and said with a smile: "Azhu, I will go back first. I will call you or write to you after I go back."

Deng Yunzhu nodded: "Okay."

The two chatted for a while, and when it was almost time, old man Zhou said goodbye: "Uncle Jiu, it's getting late, so let's get on the bus first."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Okay, I will find you and Lao Huang for morning tea when I arrive in Guangzhou."

Zhou's mother and Zhou Haidong also greeted them one after another, and then the family of three waved to Deng Shirong and his daughter and got on the bus back to Guangzhou.

…

Shuangwang Township Government.

Secretary Lin rode a bicycle to inspect the road construction.

This time, the county really made great efforts to build the road. Not only did it allocate 20,000 yuan per kilometer, but it also asked the township government to organize villagers to participate in the construction, vowing to build the road from Tanlian to Laohutou Reservoir into a county road, no longer a township road as before.

This section of the road belongs to a section of the Tanlian to Qingping highway.

The township road from Tanlian to Qingping passes through Shuangwang Township and Shabei Town and is a sandy road.

Starting from Tanlian, the road from zero to 19 kilometers belongs to Shuangwang Township. It was built in the spring of 1958. At that time, the county raised 900 yuan in materials and completed the construction and opened to traffic that year.

Five years ago, in 1985, the county allocated funds for each township road to build a road, at a cost of 2,000 yuan per kilometer, to widen the roadbed. The roadbed of Shuangwang Township was widened from the original 4 to 5 meters to 6 to 8 meters, and some sections reached 10 meters. The road surface was expanded from the original 3 to 4 meters to 5 to 6 meters.

However, the roadbed of the road is poor, the road surface grade is low, and the pressure resistance is poor. It is a low-end township road in the county.

Previously, seeing that the Naye Deng family raised money to build the township road and village road belonging to their Naye Deng section into a national highway, the township government leaders headed by Secretary Lin had also submitted a report to ask the county to allocate more funds. Not to mention building this township road into a national highway like the Naye Deng family, at least the roadbed and road surface should be widened a little bit. If conditions permit, it would be best to build it into a county road and pave it with asphalt. If conditions do not permit, some gravel can be filled on the road surface to improve the road's pressure resistance.

Unfortunately, the county leaders suppressed the report submitted by Shuangwang Township Government on the grounds of financial constraints.

Secretary Lin and other township leaders all understood this. After all, there are so many township roads in the county, and they all need the county to allocate funds for construction. As county leaders, there is no special reason, and it is impossible to favor Shuangwang Township and allocate funds specifically for Shuangwang Township to build roads.

Originally, Secretary Lin and other leaders thought that it was impossible to get the county leaders to agree to allocate funds, but they never expected that the situation would take a turn for the better. At the beginning of the year, the second son of the head of the Naye Deng family got married and made such a big scene.

Not only did many section-level and division-level cadres from all over the country come to attend the wedding, but what shocked Secretary Lin and other township leaders the most was that the father of the bride was a provincial leader.

On the wedding day, many county leaders also came down to the wedding by car. The road was so shaky that even if Secretary Lin was not in the car, one could imagine how terrified the county leaders were at that time.

After the grand wedding, the county quickly approved the report submitted by Shuangwang Township and generously allocated 20,000 yuan per kilometer, which was ten times higher than the allocation five years ago, requiring Shuangwang Township to transform this township road into a county road.

With the strong support of the county, Secretary Lin and other township leaders also actively mobilized villagers to participate in road construction, and villagers from all villages responded one after another. After all, the slogan of "build roads first to get rich" has long been popular all over the country, and everyone has realized the importance of road construction for development.

Secretary Lin rode his bicycle to inspect the area and then returned to the township government with satisfaction. When the township road of Shuangwang Township is upgraded to a county road, he believes that Shuangwang Township will usher in great development. As the head of the township, he can achieve such results during his term of office, which is worth bragging about for a lifetime.

Of course, he knows better than anyone that if Shuangwang Township can really develop, then the head of the Ye Deng family, Uncle Jiu, will account for at least 80% of the credit.

…

In a blink of an eye, it was the wedding day of Bu Xiaoshi and Yan Shuwen.

The wedding was naturally held in Baoshan Village.

For the rural people in Bobai, even in later generations, many people choose to hold a wedding banquet in their rural hometowns when they get married, and this era is even more needless to say, at least 99 out of 100 rural people hold a wedding banquet in their rural hometowns.

Yan Shuwen's family lives in Guilin. Although they are in the same province, Guilin is hundreds of kilometers away from Yulin. They certainly cannot go to pick up the bride on the wedding day. They have to use the same method as Deng Yunheng, pick up the bride in advance and settle her in a hotel in Bobai, and then take her back to her hometown to hold a wedding banquet the next day.

When the nephew took people to Guilin to pick up the bride, Deng Shirong also went with him as a matchmaker.

I won't say much about the process of picking up the bride, anyway, everything went smoothly.

When he returned to the Bobai Fuhao Hotel to settle down, Deng Shirong had an idea in his mind, that is, Shuangwang should also have a decent hotel.

Speaking of Shuangwang's hotels, let alone this era, even in the early 21st century, there was no decent hotel in the whole Shuangwang. It was not until 2010 that Shuangwang ushered in a major development for the first time. In just a few years, several decent hotels were built.

In Shuangwang at that time, there was only one guesthouse with only a few rooms, and the living conditions were quite poor. This was also the main reason why Deng Yunheng and Bu Xiaoshi did not take the bride back to Shuangwang directly, but to the county town instead.

However, Deng Shirong also knew that if a hotel was built in Shuangwang at that time, it would definitely be a loss, because there was no outside population at all. Who among the locals would not stay at home but spend money to stay in a hotel? Isn't that a disease?

Although he was not short of money, it was better not to do a business that would lose money. Think about it and wait for a few more years!

...

The next day.

The mighty convoy set off from the county town and rushed to Baoshan Village.

The four Santana cars provided by Deng Shirong's family led the way, followed by more than a dozen large trucks provided by Bu Zhongshi. The appearance was also quite nice.

There is a rule in Bobai that parents do not send their daughters to marry, but there is no such rule in Guilin, so when Yan Shuwen got married, both her father and mother came to send their daughter to marry.

At this time, the strict father and mother were sitting in one of the Santana cars, and they were quite satisfied with their daughter's grand wedding.

After all, in this era, it was rare to use a Santana car to pick up the bride even in big cities, let alone in the countryside.

The asphalt county road from Bobai to Tanlian was paved. Although the road was also winding, it was flat and very smooth to walk on.

When it arrived at the Tanlian intersection and entered the territory of Shuangwang Township, it became a bumpy rural road. Although this rural road is now under construction, it takes time to build a rural road into a county road. In a short period of time, only a part of the roadbed was widened, and it was still a long way from completion!

Therefore, after entering the rural road, the car shook violently, which made the strict father and mother dizzy.

The city they were in was Guilin, and Guilin has been the political, economic, and cultural center of Guangxi since the Song Dynasty. It was not until modern times that Nanning regained the status of the political, economic, and cultural center.

The reason why it is said to be recaptured is that Nanning was already the political, economic and cultural center of Guangxi as early as the Tang Dynasty, but this time was not long, and its influence was far less than Guilin.

As the political, economic and cultural center of Guangxi, Guilin's development is naturally not comparable to that of backward cities like Yulin.

Let's not talk about other things first, just talk about this road. Yan's father and mother have never seen a road in Guilin that is more broken and worse than the rural road they are walking on now.

In such a broken place, a multi-millionaire like Deng Shirong actually appeared, and Yan's father and mother felt a little incredible.

It was about eleven o'clock in the morning when the convoy to pick up the bride returned to Baoshan Village after shaking all the way.

"Hey, this bride is really good, she looks so beautiful!"

"Yes, the three daughters-in-law of Erzhu's family are really more beautiful than each other."

"If you have money, you can marry any beautiful daughter-in-law. With the current economic conditions of Erzhu's family, it is normal to marry such a daughter-in-law."

"Yes, it's good to be rich. I heard that the bride is from a big city!"

"If someone said a few years ago that someone in our Baoshan Village could marry a girl from a big city, I would never believe it, but now it's really not surprising at all."

"Now the Erzhu family is really amazing..."

"..."

As the groom brought the bride back, the whole Baoshan Village began to talk about it.

Originally, Bu Erzhu was just an ordinary member of the village, but with the strong rise of his brother-in-law, their family also rose. In just a few years, their family became the most dazzling existence in the village and the real richest man in the village.

Today, Bu Erzhu is the most prestigious person in the village, no one else.

While the bride and groom were busy worshiping their ancestors, Deng Shirong drank tea with his father and mother in the living room.

The house of my brother-in-law's family is a three-story small foreign-style building built in the past two years. Although the decoration is not as exquisite as those of Deng Shirong's house, it is still extremely luxurious. Even if it is placed in a big city, it is an extremely beautiful house, and it is even more beautiful in the countryside. Needless to say, it has already become the benchmark house that everyone in Baoshan Village aspires to.

Deng Shirong said: "Relative, our rural road is under construction. Thank you for your hard work along the way!"

"It's not hard."

Father Yan waved his hand and said: "Relatives, I found that the mountains here in Yulin are similar to the mountains in Guilin. They are all short mountains and there is not even a higher mountain. The biggest difference is that you The mountains here are much denser than those over there.”

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "This is completely incomparable. The mountains here are all ordinary mountains with no characteristics, but your landscape in Guilin is world-famous. It looks like a scroll, so beautiful."

Father Yan sighed: "No matter how beautiful the landscape is, it is useless. The political, economic and cultural center that has been there for hundreds of years is just lost."

Deng Shirong comforted: "Relatives, there is no need to regret. In the long history of our country, let alone the provincial capital, even the capital of a country has not been moved at will. For example, cities such as Xi'an, Luoyang, Nanjing, and Kaifeng were moved in ancient times. Those are all famous capitals!”

Father Yan nodded and said: "That's true. Compared to losing the status of a provincial capital city, those cities that have lost their capital are indeed more heartbroken."

Deng Shirong said: "Whether it is the capital city or the provincial capital city, there are various reasons before it is finally determined. Take our capital of Guangxi as an example. There are many reasons why Nanning was chosen instead of Guilin.

One of the most important reasons is that Nanning's strategic position is much stronger than Guilin, so the teacher finally decided to make Nanning the capital of Guangxi. "

Father Yan said with emotion: "I also understand this. The teacher's strategy is unparalleled throughout history. His old man designated Nanning as the capital of Guangxi. Naturally, it has a deeper meaning that we don't know. It's just that our Guilin has been the big brother of Guangxi for so many years. Suddenly It’s hard to avoid feeling a little sad when I lose this status.”

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "This is a blessing in disguise. If Guilin continues to become the capital of Guangxi, then in the process of modernization development, Guilin's famous landscape will be destroyed. Compared with the status of this capital, I think it is more important to preserve Guilin’s landscape. This is a gift from nature and we cannot let it go.”

Father Yan laughed and said, "My dear, your perspective on things is really amazing."

…

After the bride and groom finished paying homage to their ancestors, their parents, the bride and groom, and the matchmaker Deng Shirong all took the stage to deliver a few speeches.

The speeches were relatively simple, and then the wedding banquet officially began.

A total of 36 tables were set up for today's banquet. The scene was quite large and the food was extremely sumptuous.

The wedding banquet was not over until about two o'clock in the afternoon.

After all the other guests had left, Yan Shuwen said to Deng Shirong with a smile: "Uncle, my clothing store in Guilin is going to be left to my parents to run. Brother Xiaoshi and I are planning to switch to other businesses. I hope that uncle will help you." Please give me some advice on what kind of business we should do?"

These words can be regarded as Yan Shuwen's statement to her husband's family.

After all, if she continues to return to Guilin to run her clothing store, then Bu Xiaoshi, as her husband, will definitely follow her to Guilin to develop her business. For Bo Baibai, this is equivalent to moving into the family.

This is naturally fine for an ordinary family, but for a family like the Bu family, it is not very good.

Deng Shirong was very satisfied and asked with a smile: "Which industry do you want to work in? Do you have any ideas?"

Yan Shuwen replied: "Uncle, Brother Xiaoshi has no business experience. I only have experience in opening a clothing store. I don't know much about other industries, so naturally I don't have any good ideas."

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Then let me offer you a few options. The first one is to invest in an excavator."

Yan Shuwen said in surprise: "Building an excavator?"

Deng Shirong said: "Now the country is developing rapidly, and construction projects are underway all over the country, and excavators can be said to be an indispensable part of modernization. If you buy a few excavators, you are guaranteed to make a lot of money."

In the past life, many people in Naye Village were engaged in this. They bought an excavator and drove it themselves. As long as there was work and the quality of the excavator was not bad, it was no problem to earn hundreds of thousands a year.

If you can build a few excavators, it is not a dream to make one million a year.

Of course, not everyone can make money. If you can’t get any work, you have to fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, or you buy an excavator with poor quality. Every once in a while, something goes wrong here or there. Then don’t Even if you make money, you may lose money.

However, this is talking about the era of super competition in the previous life, and now it is the early 1990s. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you buy the excavator, you are making money with your eyes closed, and there are no competitors at all.

Because there are too many construction sites in this era, and there are too few people working on excavators, everyone has endless work to do, and there is no competition!

Bu Xiaoshi was a little moved when he heard this and said: "Uncle, I bought this excavator, where can I pick up the work?"

"There are plenty of jobs in any city. Don't worry about not being able to get jobs. Just build a few excavators to test the waters first. Once you gain experience in this industry and have connections, you can expand the excavator team and develop it. When there are dozens or hundreds of excavators down there, you can make a lot of money every day.”

At this point, Deng Shirong changed his tone: "However, no matter what industry you are in in this era, it will not be smooth sailing. When you develop and grow, you will definitely be targeted by some gangsters.

Therefore, the best choice at the moment is Nanning, because I can still protect your uncle in Nanning. "

This is not just talk. The 1990s can be said to be an extremely chaotic period. Basically every city will have some dark forces. In addition to collecting protection fees, they will also use strong methods to monopolize certain industries.

Take the gas filling industry as an example. Those dark forces will delineate their sphere of influence. Within this sphere of influence, whether it is for household gas use or gas use in restaurants and other industries, you can only fill gas in their company. If you Find other companies to inflate your gas, these dark forces will not do anything to you, they will only beat the person who delivers the gas.

In short, gas delivery personnel from other gas companies will definitely be beaten as long as they dare to enter their designated sphere of influence.

Over time, no gas deliveryman dared to deliver gas to this area.

This kind of competition is really unsolvable, making those regular gas companies miserable.

Choosing to call the police will not solve the problem. In the end, there is really no solution except admitting defeat.

The gas industry is like this, and other profitable industries are no exception. If my nephew is working on an excavator, it will be no problem if he only has three or two excavators. But once he develops and grows, he will have dozens or even hundreds of excavators. , that would be different.

At that time, it is likely to attract the attention of those dark forces, which is obviously not a good thing.

However, if it is in Nanning, then of course there will be no problem, Deng Shirong can completely cover it.

After all, whether it is official connections or their own strength, they are all very powerful. As long as they show their strength to a little bit, unless the interests involved are too great, no dark force is willing to provoke such a person. exist.

Bu Xiaoshi nodded repeatedly after hearing this. There was no doubt about his uncle's strength in Nanning. He then asked: "Uncle, besides this excavator, what other businesses are suitable for us to do?"

Deng Shirong smiled slightly and said: "Besides excavators, I think there is also a future in opening a hair salon. Hair dyeing is now becoming popular in big cities. The cost of this thing is not high and the profit is very considerable. As long as you open a large-scale hair salon, with the current There is no need to worry about the trend and there is no business, it is inevitable to make money.”

Yan Shuwen's eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard this. She was more inclined to build a hair salon than to build an excavator: "Uncle, how big will this hair salon be?"

Deng Shirong said: "Build a store of one to two hundred square meters, and invite ten or eight hairstylists who know how to dye hair, and more than a dozen beautiful hair-washing girls to come back, and make it the largest hair salon in Nanning." Store, this business must not be much different.”

Yan Shuwen smiled happily and said, "Thank you uncle for your advice. I think this hair salon is suitable for me."

Deng Shirong said: "If you want to open a hair salon, then go to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities that are at the forefront of fashion. I believe you will gain something."

"Okay, thank you uncle."
